Hi,
I cannot find Santiago Giromini in 1895 Argentina census, but I found:


How did you search census records in Argentina? I've looked online but I can't find an online search. I have family that may have immigrated to Argentina in the early 1900s that I've been trying to track down.

Thanks ...

I have a similar issue with my documents.

My grandfather (GF) has an Italian first name on his US birth certificate, but he has an Anglicized first name on his US marriage and death certificates. My GF's surname is consistent across all documents, thankfully.

I have 3 questions:

1) How can I ...

Great news! Thanks very much for your help!

My GGF signed the Declaration of Intention two separate times, first when my GF was 11, the second when my GF was 24.

My GGF signed the Certificate of Loyalty when my GF was 26.

My GGF signed the Petition for Naturalization & the Oath of Allegiance when my GF was 27.

I have two different ...

My great-grandfather was born in Italy, and my grandfather was born in the US.

My Italian-born great-grandfather signed his Declaration of Intention when my US-born grandfather was a minor. Then my GGF signed his Naturalization papers when my GF was a legal adult.

Is my GF still a dual citizen, US ...

My grandfather was born with the first name Cesare, and that is on his birth certificate. But later in life, he called himself Chester instead of Cesare (on his marriage certificate, death certificate, and under father's name for his childrens' birth certificates).

I don't think he legally changed ...

I tried calling the Consulate today, but I think maybe they are on holiday right now. So I'm hoping that I might find someone here that has gone through this particular Consulate.

1) Do I need to get my US documents (birth & marriage certificates, naturalization papers, etc) translated into Italian ...

Hi tonyric,

Can you check if the IS record citation you received (the USCIS file number for the RCR) matches the numbers on the NARA documents you have? There is the Petition for Naturalization number, and if the petition was granted, there should be an issued certificate with a line #, list #, and ...

I just called the USCIS help line, and they actually told me that nobody there can answer my question. Then I tried calling my local field office and the number has no option for customer service. So hopefully someone here that has done this before can help me!

There are 2 fee-for-services ...

Hi teddi,

Thanks for your reply! Is there anything I can do at the comune in Italy to expedite the process? I read online that the Italian Consulate I will apply through in the US will register my American birth certificate in the Italian comune. What can I do while I'm in Italy this summer to get ...

Thanks, wldspirit!

You mentioned the "stato di famiglia originario" lists names of family members in the present. I'm very interested in establishing communication with any relatives I may still have in Italy! Is it reasonable to expect the comune to have this document with the family history ...

I reside under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Consulate, and I hear that they have the worst delays! I need to get my citizenship recognized for a job in about 12 months maximum. I'll be in Italy for several weeks this summer while visiting friends.

Is it possible to apply for citizenship ...

Grazie mille, Maurizio! =)

Many of the birth certificates I have collected have Italian first names (e.g., Costantino, Lucia), but later documents such as marriage certificates and children's birth certificates have Americanized first names (e.g., Constantine, Lucy).

Do I need to get these documents amended? If so, what does ...

I have a similar situation (my family members reside in different states with different consulates). Does this mean we need multiple copies of each document? For example, if we are applying in 2 different consulates, do we need 2 copies of all birth and marriage certificates from Italy?... one for ...
